Personally I drag my knee on the track but not on the street. Not that I see anything wrong with it. I just don't ride that hard on the street. I had one serious accident, and that was plenty.


Why you gotta harsh my mellow?

Yeah, but there are TN roads that look just like that one. :D


I just didn't have a TN picture to go with the caption.


Looks like I'm going to miss MBVI. I'm selling the bike and unless economic shit picks up soon, I'll be bikeless for a while.

The only time I put a knee down is to check my tire pressure. My knees hug the tank all the time. I only move my upper body on curves. For me, it's much more efficient. Especially with the millions of curves in Colorado. Ha, two digs in one post.

so does it count if your knee goes down with the bike, if so my knee has been down a few times.

That would be me. I dont feel a need to do it on the street, altho theres a very few roads here I could do it on, I just think its safe or wise.

On the track, well, once I finally did it, my sole goal was to do it as much as often till I destroyed my pucks. After doing this, and rubbing some leather off as well, nto to mention my leg saving my ass from sliding out, Im out of the " I CAN DRAG KNEE" stage and if it happens, it happens, I wont be trying to do it, not that I really did before tho. :idk:

I got a friends '96 ZX-7R running for him a couple summers ago and out on a test ride I noticed my knee was uncomfortably close to the asphalt since I was just in jeans doing a lap around the "block" (I live in the country, 4 mile "block"). I'll wait till I get an FZ1 before I bother to try.


But you can lean like a SOB on a VTX. I had a kid on a 636 mention at a gas stop during a weekend ride that he didn't thing cruisers riders could lean out until he saw me ride.

This dude is friggin INSANE on a cruiser!! Terrifying to watch but killer mad skills!

Which reminds me, X is still in VT. If she doesn't sell by mid-May, then I won't sell her, you wanna watch her Rae? And I'm not that good, I just can't push her too much further without doing a lot of damage.
